Five years ago, a conspiracy led to an unexpected pregnancy, a city-wide manhunt, and homelessness.
In despair, she fled to another country.
Five years later, she made a grand return wi...
Li Jinchen nodded.
The old man showed some interest, so the old lady naturally wouldn't refuse. As winter approached, the old man's health was getting worse day by day. It was only today, because the weather was good, that he came out of the house to breathe some fresh air.
While the old lady was worried about her husband's health, she actually messed up the Rubik's Cube that Li Jinchen gave her.
Then pass it to the child.
She thought the child would look embarrassed when he saw it, but unexpectedly he ran up to the old man and handed him the Rubik's Cube.
That little look was very serious and solemn.
But when it comes to a five-year-old child, it is inexplicably adorable, making people's hearts melt.
Old Li took it and said, "Okay, since the weather is nice today, I'll play with you, little kid. As for the Rubik's Cube, it's actually very easy to solve as long as you study its patterns thoroughly. Little kid, tell me how you usually solve it?"
Li Jinchen tilted his head slightly without saying a word, watching the Rubik's Cube constantly changing in the old man's hands, his expression extremely serious.
Xia Yunxi took out her cell phone and looked at the stopwatch.
It was rare for Li Jinchen to be serious, so of course she was happy to see it happen.
As long as he can worship Mr. Li and discover Jinchen's talent, it will be helpful for Li Jinchen's future, whether it is hobbies or other things, as he will have a skill to rely on.
Although Li's status as the crown prince would not allow him to go hungry, as a mother, Xia Yunxi still hoped that her child would be multi-talented.
You cannot rely on the outside world. At any time, the skills you have learned will never let you down.
"good!"
Only two minutes and thirty seconds had passed, and Mr. Li had just made the last step, and the Rubik's Cube was successfully restored to its original position.
Li Jinchen's eyes sparkled. He turned to look at his mother.
Xia Yunxi handed him the phone.
At first, Li Jinchen just didn't want to disappoint his mother, but when he saw the time, Mr. Li aroused the child's fighting spirit.
The old lady messed up the Rubik's Cube again.
Xia Yunxi was standing by and pressed the button on her phone to reset the timer.
Li Jinchen's little hands began to spin rapidly. He played so fast that others couldn't even see clearly.
He has taken many steps.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Lao's eyes. He was just teasing the child, but when he saw Li Jinchen's technique, it was obviously mixed with the efficient coordination of brain speed. One minute was very short.
But even adults need to spend a long time to study the Rubik's Cube.
However, Li Jinchen turned very quickly.
Sudden.
The child suddenly looked up and handed the Rubik's Cube to Mr. Li.
Xia Yunxi also quickly pressed the button on her phone.
Forty-five seconds!
A relieved smile appeared on her face and she held out her cell phone.
This time even the old lady was surprised. After all, Li Jinchen was not tall and looked very young.
But the fact that he was able to restore the Rubik's Cube in such a short time is enough to show that this kid's brain is indeed very powerful.
Li Jinchen kept looking at the old man, with a child's innocent persistence in his eyes.
He did it, so grandpa should accept him as his student!
Unexpectedly, Master Li pondered for a while and said, "I won't accept any students anymore. You guys can go back. This game is just for fun with you, little kid!"
"Mr. Li..." Xia Yunxi couldn't help but take a step forward.
Elder Li raised his hand to stop her. "You don't need to persuade me. Since you already know what happened two years ago, I have vowed from the moment I retired that I will no longer teach students. So, you can go back..."
"But you also saw that my child is really talented..." Xia Yunxi didn't want to give up.
Old Li shook his head. Just sitting for a while had already used up all his strength.
He stretched out his hand, and the old lady next to him hurriedly helped him up. The two elderly people, with no one to help them, slowly walked past Xia Yunxi and returned to the house.
After their figures disappeared, Li Jinchen raised his head, and asked with a cold face, "Grandpa, you don't like me."
Xia Yunxi squatted down and looked at Li Jinchen, her heart full of apology: "He doesn't dislike you, it's just that the old man is old and his body can't support it..."
"But he doesn't want to teach me!"
Xia Yunxi paused, not knowing how to explain to the child.
At this moment, footsteps were heard behind me.
Xia Yunxi stood up. The old lady came to them. She glanced at Li Jinchen and sighed, "You should go back. You can see that Old Li is in poor health. Not to mention what happened two years ago, he doesn't have the energy to teach students anymore."
After saying that, the old lady didn't care what Xia Yunxi and her son thought. She sighed and went back into the house.
Xia Yunxi pulled Li Jinchen and walked out of the alley.
I looked back and saw the entrance to the deep and quiet alley.
Looking back at the staggering figures of the elderly couple, it was just a piece of news that would be forgotten by strangers. But behind this news, it could completely destroy everything a person has!
Li Jinchen lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, but his whole body exuded a lonely aura, which Xia Yunxi could easily feel.
She pulled him to the side and squatted down, "What's wrong?"
Xia Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Mom didn't think it through. I thought that for a little genius like my Jinchen, the teacher would definitely teach you when they see your talent."
"Why do we need to find another teacher?" Li Jinchen asked.
This was the first time he took the initiative to ask what was on his mind.
Xia Yunxi smiled slightly: "Because other teachers can't teach you math. Do you know the identity of that old man in there?"
Li Jinchen shook his head.
"He is a hero of our country. He taught many students, who then participated in math competitions, from county to city level, and then internationally. He achieved many accomplishments and won many trophies."
Xia Yunxi tried her best to choose words that Li Jinchen could understand, "And these students participating in the competition will become great scientists in our country in the future. Do you understand? Scientists are highly respected by people."
Li Jinchen seemed to understand, "Is he more powerful than Daddy?"
"Uh." Xia Yunxi thought of Li Hanting's expressionless face, and complained in her heart that no matter how capable the other party was, he was just a small businessman. How could he compare with the country's scientists?
My thoughts were so distracted that I didn't even notice that Li Jinchen's speech became smoother.
"Actually, Dad isn't that great." Xia Yunxi racked her brains, trying to replace Li Hanting's image in her child's mind. "Dad is just a wealthy businessman, but our country still relies on scientists to continue creating miracles. That's why scientists are national heroes, and they are admired by everyone."
